Week 2 Flashcards
Normal physiology of gastric acid secretion
- How is it produced
- How is it secreted?
- Formation
- Being pumped into lumen
What is secretion used for?
- How? Each macro?
- Digestion.
- Activates pepsinogen to pepsin to break down protein into AA
- For fats use gastric lipase
- Do not break down carbs in stomach
Why do we not chemically digest carbs in stomach
No, because amylase is not activated due to low pH (acidic) and it needs alkalinic pH.
What causes dysregulation of secretion?
- examples
- Pathologies
○ Ulcers
○ Autoimmune diseases
○ Acute problem
Ulcers
- kinds
- cause
- Gastric, Duodenal, Esophageal (usually more Gastric and Duodenal)
- caused by H. pylori or chronic use of NSAIDS
How do you actually form the hydrogen
- Inside the cell youre going to have CO2 and H2O then carbonic anhydrase is going to convert them to H2CO3 which then is broken down into hydrogen ions and bicarb.
- The hydrogen will be pumped one way and then bicarb will be pumped the other way.
How to pump hydrogen ions into lumen
Proton pump, ATPase
What does ATPase mean
It needs energy and it is active transporter meaning something is going against its concentration gradient.
Proton pump
- What is being pumped from the cell into the lumen?
- What is pumped from the lumen to the cell?
- Hydrogen
- Potassium
Where is chloride coming from? How does it enter the cell?
- Blood
- Cl will be pumped into the cell and bicarb will be pumped out into the blood
Tri-transporter
- other name
- what does it transport
- NKCC1
- Sodium, chloride, and potassium
Sodium potassium ATPase
○ Pumps sodium out and potassium in
○ Helps to keep everything electro neutral
- The more proton pumps you have, the more acid that can be secreted out
Potassium channels
allow for local gradients of potassium, which helps drive the proton pump
Parietal cells
- function
- what do they need?
- what is being produced?
- cells that secrete the acid, - need a lot of energy and have a lot of mitochondria in order to produce a lot of ATP so that ATPase’s can be functional.
- both acids and bases are being produced.
Parietal cells
- function
- what do they need?
- what is being produced?
- How does cell not become basic?
- cells that secrete the acid, - need a lot of energy and have a lot of mitochondria in order to produce a lot of ATP so that ATPase’s can be functional.
- both acids and bases are being produced.
- As it is pumping acid into lumen of stomach the bi-carb is being pumped into basolateral side, into the blood-stream. During digestion, especially gastric phase, when you are having secretion really activated there will be an alkaline tide.
Alkaline tide
high level of bi-carb in blood due to protons being pumped into lumen to make stomach acid. But blood will run through gastric mucousal so some of the excess bicarb in the blood can go into the gastric mucousal cells that it needs to be in and help to make the mucus layer.
What happens when an antacid is put into stomach?
- examples
- Neutralizes HCl
- Calcium carbonate, Sodium bicaronate, Magnesium hydroxide, Aluminum hydroxide
Calcium carbonate
- When it reacts with hydrochloric acid what byproducts do you get
- Calcium Chloride (CaCl2) and Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
Sodium bicarbonate
- other name
- When it reacts with hydrochloric acid what byproducts do you get
- What happens when given to people with heart failure
- Also known as baking powder or Alka-Seltzer
- Sodium Chloride (NaCl) and Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
- Increase water retention because salt will increase osmotic pressure.
Antacids and diarrheal agents/ antidiarrheals
○ Magnesium hydroxide: Magnifies diarrhea
○ Aluminum hydroxide: halts diarrhea
What happens because CO2 is produced with Antacids
Can get burping, belching, bloating because CO2 is gas. So if patient is belching frequently or very bloated after taking this medication it could be from CO2 production. However, CO2 is weak base which helps to neutralize the acid.
How do antacids affect other meds?
- It reacts with them and reduces absorption
- It also affects solubility (Lipid/ Water)
What happens to pH with sodium bicarbonate and calcium bicarbonate?
being messed up so if a lot of antacids are being taken then you can get metabolic alkalosis.
surface mucousal cells
○ Secreting: bicarb and mucus
○ Turn over every 1 to 3 days
mucus neck cells
- what are they
- what do they become
○ Precursor stem cells
○ Can migrate up and become surface mucousal cells
○ Can migrate down and turn into ECL, parietal or chief cells
- There cells are important because top layer is being sloughed off every 1-3 days
Parietal cells
- what do they secrete?
- Secrete HCl and intrinsic factor
D cells
- what do they secrete? and what does it do?
○ Secrete: somatostatin
- Turns things off
Enterochromafin like cells (ECL cells)
- what do they secrete?
Secrete histamine
Chief cells
- what do they secrete?
Secrete pepsinogen and gastric lipase
What cells are in the fundus and body of the stomach?
surface mucousal cells, mucus neck cells, parietal cells, d cell, ECL cells, chief cells
What cells are in the antrum of the stomach?
g cells and d cells
Potentiation
- what is it?
- what will it lead to?
- How the different cells in the stomach regulate each other
- regulate how much acid will be produced.
- Any kind of regulation with Gq or Gs causes signaling cascade which activates the parietal cell and increases the amount of proton pumps on the parietal cell.
- More pumps on apical membrane = more acid production in order to digest food
cells activated by vagal input
- what kind of receptors do they use?
- Activation: all muscarinic (M3) receptor that stimulates through G-q
- G cell activated by gastrin releasing peptide (GRP). which stimulates the G-cell to release gastrin.
- Release of acetylcholine to activate parietal cells through a muscarinic receptor.
- ECL cells: through ACH
cells inhibited by vagal input
- D cell: uses ACH binding to m2/m4 muscarinic receptor to turn off somatostatin
Don’t want somatostatin to be released when going through gastric phase of digestion
Gastrin
- what kind of receptor?
- cell released from
- binds
- Gq receptors
- Released from G cell
- Binds: CCK B receptor on ECL cell which in combination of acetylcholine helps to release histamine
OR directly on parietal cells
Histamine
- cells
- what kind of receptor?
- Chief cells, Parietal
- H2 receptor with G-s binding
How do chief cells and parietal cells work together for chemical digestion?
- chief cells release pepsinogen and acid lipase. As pepsinogen is released into lumen it will be converted into pepsin by HCl. So the only way food can be broken down is through the release of hydrochloric acid
How does chemical digestion turn off? but how do we know when there has been enough gastric digestion so that we can turn it off?
- Through somatostatin
○ CCK secretion from I cells in duodenum.
How is CCK turned on?
Fats and amino acids being released into duodenum from the food breaking down signals the I cells to release CCK. CCK effect on stomach is that it binds to CCK receptors to help slow down gastric digestion AND it causes release of somatostatin
PPIs
- specific
- how does it work?
- Why do you have to give them multiple times?
- pH
- absorption
- sodium potassium ATPase are only found in parietal cells so PPIs are very selective, most efficacious drug, most widely prescribed
- irreversible covalent bond that forms and makes protein no longer functional. It’s required to be degraded and recycled, make new protein, which requires 3-5 days for new synthesis of this protein
- because every time it is stimulated more PP are being upregulated to apical membrane. It’s a combination of recycled pumps and brand new pumps, so it takes 3-4 days in order for you to completely inactivate those proton pumps; If you were to remove proton pump inhibitor, it takes 3-4 days for you to get regular acid secretion again
- weak bases (pKA is 4-5) in an acidic environment it will be protonatedand therefore ionized so it is donating protons; since it is charged it will be hydrophilic and trapped in the lumen
- rapidly absorbed in the intestine because the pH will become more basic
